As NBA lockout talks reconvene in New York on Saturday, questions linger. Do the 50 players who reportedly talked about decertification with anti-trust lawyer Len Simon this week have enough support to make a real push to dissolve the union? Does Michael Jordan's cabal of 10-14 hardline owners have the power to convince David Stern to keep pushing for a 50-50 deal and hold tight on system issues still on the table?
On the former, one agent who spoke to CBS Sports' Ken Berger isn't convinced that the decertification camp has enough support. In fact, a majority of players may be ready to take the owners' offer.
"If they put this to a vote today, more than 50 percent of players would be on board with 50-50," an agent who is not clamoring for decertification said. "They think they're going to get 200-plus votes for decertification? Are they out of their minds?"
Regardless of how Saturday's session works out, you do wonder if there will be a groundswell of support within the union for a vote on 50-50.
